Are you all just going to pretend this isn't happening?

I assume everyone's already illegally downloaded last nights episode? If so you'll definitely understand my next question...

WHO DONE THE DOINGS WHAT DID GET DONE!?

I'm reckoning Cersei at a daring 50/1.

Haven't read the books.

I know it's pointless to extrapolate these sort of things from TV series, since usually nobody cares enough, but the cup was put down empty at fish-face-but-I'd-fuck-her, then there's a shot of Cersei being handed a refilled glass of wine, then Tyrion doesn't refill Joffrey's mug but it has wine in it anyway.

Well, yes, it was still a murder on the Orient Express, it's still illegally downloading a television show. It doesn't really matter how many people commit the crime, it's still a crime.

Of course, I realise that I just compared murder to watching a TV show online, so no need to point out that absurdity.

The current situation is a little weird. As far as I can tell, copyright infringement for non-commercial purposes is illegal according to the Digital Economy Act 2010, but there isn't any statutory procedure for enforcement, and part of the Act has been repealed already.

Normally, copyright infringement would be a case for the civil courts, but there's no real point in suing someone who isn't making money out of it.

Filesharing is illegal, but pretty much only on paper. It's not even remotely cost effective to pursue wide-scale enforcement, and I doubt it ever will be. From what I can make out, the worst fine you could make would be £2500 paid to Ofcom, so the copyright holder wouldn't even make any money out of it- and then there'd be billions in the government coffers and out of consumers' pockets, which doesn't do anyone but the government any favours.

Granted this is after only about ten minutes of research. I think that if half the country managed to dodge jail for not turning up for longbow practice for years, we might all be able to dodge this law, too, though.

The show had been spoiled for me so many times (I actively spoil it for myself) that I feel I know what is happening, but then I don't. Maybe I am too absent minded. What happened in the latest episode caught me by surprise although I knew to some degree that something like that would happen. Although I have been told numerous times who might be behind it or whatever, I forget and I have no clue.

Not him, but not everyone enjoys reading. This is their only exposure to the series and something they have no frame of reference to disbelieve.

I have read the books, so I know it isn't true, but "The Hound doesn't kill Brienne" is still as much of spoiler as "The Hound killed Brienne" for people who haven't read them.

In a thread where any kind of spoilers will ruin someone's enjoyment of the show, your facetious humour is inappropriate and unwelcome.

I only made the post saying she doesn't get killed by the Hound. Which isn't anything like as much of a spoiler as saying it did happen (if it did) in any case. There are thousands of things that don't happen to her, that happens to be one of them. And maybe I'm just trying to cover for him in any case, trying to appear certain that this doesn't happen, so that the shock of it would be the same is if it were never brought to any non-book reader's attention.

Anyway, if anybody is that concerned about spoilers a) take them with a pinch of salt, half of them aren't true anyway, or b) maybe think about reading the books you twat, they're not exactly Dostoevsky.

How difficult they are to read isn't really an issue, if someone is in a sort of Wont Cook mentality. I wouldn't exactly call them remedial by any stretch, either.

There are tons of books for me to enjoy, but not many TV programmes. I don't read the books because I think they'll get in the way of my shared enjoyment (with friends, the girlfriend) of the programme. If they were works of literary genius, fair enough, but from what I've read they really aren't.

What a sad, sad, oh so very sad episode.

I should've known given the joy of the opening episode that is was only going to go downhill. If next weeks' episode doesn't have Gatiss turning to camera and telling a funny story from when he was working on LoG then I'll probably just slash open my wrists halfway through. Of course, the time I'd take to bleed out will probably be about half an episode, therefore sparing myself no heartache anyway.

Spoiling all this because I'm nice, it doesn't give much away but enough for the first couple of episodes. It has three different stories which are slowly intertwining.

The first story is about a massive civil war in Westeros, a united kingdom ("The Seven Kingdoms") the size of Western Europe, between two noble house families, rebel House Stark and incumbent House Baratheon And Lannister, who seized the throne from the Targaryen dynasty several decades before the beginning of the show in an armed rebellion due to the king of the time, Aerys II Targaryen, who was famously insane.

The second story is about The Wall, a monumental wall of ice 300 miles long and 700 feet high, which is built on the northern border of the kingdom. It is manned by an order called the Night's Watch, who are sworn into service for life and may not marry or have children, and forego all claims to inheritance. Most of them are convicted criminals who faced the option between joining the Night's Watch or being executed. Beyond the wall are the Wildlings, who call themselves the Free Folk, and who always present a constant menace. They have been the main focus of the Night's Watch for many centuries. However, ancient monsters from legend (The Others, or White Walkers) begin to reappear. They can defeat the strongest opponent with ease, and have the ability to reanimate their dead opponents. They must content with desertion, constant attacks and many of their men never returning from their journeys north of The Wall.

The third story is about the only remaining family members of House Targaryen, Daenerys and Viserys, who are in exile in the eastern continent, called Estos. At the beginning, Daenerys is to be married to Khal Drogo, the leader of an immense army of horse-riding raiders who belong to a people called the Dothraki (they are sort of like the Mongols). The plan is basically that Khal Drogo will cross the Narrow Sea separating Estos and Westeros and conquer the Iron Throne of Westeros and restore their birthright. Many consider this story to be their favourite.

There are a good few 'story fragments' which follow these three main stories or result from them, but are not of them. This is due to the source books using a POV style of writing, which gives each character their own unique story inside the main story. All in all, this is a very nice gem of a show, and well worth your time to watch. You have nothing to lose, really.

Essos*.

But apart from that that's quite a nice overview of the first season. The story relies quite heavily on political intrigue and who's dicking over who. In that way it reminds me quite a lot of Rome, so that might give you a good indication of whether you've got the attention span for those sorts of dramatics.

Now, on the topic of the most recent episode, what the fuck was that at the end and why did it remind me of Dead Snow? And does anyone else get the sense that they're cramming far too much story into too little screen time? I'm not sure I'd be able to understand what the fuck was going on without having knowledge of the books for a reference, it makes me wonder how people who've only ever seen the TV series are coping.

As someone who hasn't read the books I'm coping well enough. Remembering all the bollocks Little Finger is up to is irritating that fucker wants the throne, doesn't he?, and was he that Irish sounding in previous series? But it can feel a tad rushed when you're going between 5 or so distinct locations in under an hour.

The bit at the end with the White Walkers was good, as they're definitely the most mysterious part of the show right now. It's an interesting chicken or the egg situation they have going on. And what happened to that huge bloody army they had at the end of the last series? Or am I underestimating just how far away they were?

Oh, and if anything bad happens to Bran Inc. I will be seriously pissed. Can't wait for those fucking deserters to bite it.

>But it can feel a tad rushed when you're going between 5 or so distinct locations in under an hour.
Yes, I suppose that might have something to do with it.

I think I'm in a weird position because I started off with the TV series, then read all the books in preparation for the fourth season, so I've got two sources of knowledge battling themselves in my head.

>they're definitely the most mysterious part of the show right now.
Trust me, they're the most mysterious part of the books too. The further along I got in the reading the more I started to agree with criticisms of Martin that go along the lines of "he's just bloody making it all up as he goes along" - which he cannily explains away as "ho ho I'm just keeping my readers on their toes". Are you, George, are you, or are you just scattering plot devices like so much ground pepper over these bloody things without resolving anything at fucking all and laughing all the way to the bank.

Look all I'm saying is that there'd better bloody be a whole lot of tying up plotlines in the 7th book or I'm going to cut someone.

Remember there are over 60 main characters right now in the books. The show simply doesn't have the budget to pay an actor's salary with so many characters, so they have to change stuff around, combine characters etc. For example, they had Gendry fill the role of both himself and Edric Storm It's the price one has to pay for making it on a screen. For the most part, I think they're going to move forward in the same direction as the book, even if the particulars aren't the same.

Yeah, every time I hear him speak it's like someone's licking my ear lobe and not in a friendly way. Maybe that's the point; I still want him dead.

And yes or no; have the White Walkers come south of the wall yet?

Also perhaps your problem is that as the TV show and the books become more and more disparate you're probably going to get more and more confused.

DO NOT read this if you haven't read to at least A Feast of Crows.

They can't come south of the wall. It is sort of a major plot point.

In the books, there is a gate in the Nightfort (one of the castles on the wall; there are 12 or 13) under the wall itself. It is sentient and mentioned that magical creatures cannot cross the wall. It lets Sam and Gillie through, because Sam is a Night Watchmen and lets Bran and company through (which is how they got North of The Wall) but wouldn't let Coldhands cross the threshold). The Wall has really powerful magic that means its core will never melt, also.

However, there was a horn that was buried with one of the First Men in the Skirling Pass that can bring down the wall. Mance Rayder has it, but it's broken. The White Walkers need that horn to be blown in order to leave The North.

The biggest problem I'm having is trying to remember parts of the plot that resurface from years ago. I had similar issues with Breaking Bad where after a year I couldn't remember anything at all from the plot.

Mad Men seems to be far better at using the recaps for this but then I suppose the story is simpler.

Good to see you're thinking this. She is determined to free the slaves because she lived so much of her own life in "slavery" to her brother. She sees how the slaves of the bay are suffering, and says to herself "I shall free all of these slaves" without thinking of the practicalities and consequences of doing so. It's an idealistic choice made by an idealistic person, but it's going to come around and bite her on the bum pretty soon.

Yeah, good post. Stay tuned, basically. This story arch is actually going somewhere quite good, Daenerys probably has the best character development outside of Arya and Jon Snow, maybe even better.

Spoilers.

She learns a lot from her experiences in Slaver's Bay, the ways of war and how to run a kingdom in a city full of people who want you dead. All of Dani's story arch right up until the end of A Dance with Dragons is building towards her eventual taming of Drogon, the black dragon, and becoming a wise leader, but also foe that must be feared.

They are more like Hobbits than Elves, in appearance. Or some manner of cross between the two. Both Ancient and childlike, one with nature. They are definitely magical too, so I suppose you are right.

I can't remember if it is mentioned how they managed to get Coldhands onside and what, or who, he is.

The running theory seems to be that he is Jon's uncle, Ned's brother, Benjen Stark. I don't know how well that stands up though.

They're also probably quite panicked. The only reason they're together as an army in the first place is because they want to escape the White Walkers by crossing the wall (which is why Mance hasn't blown his horn to take the wall down), and they've been harried all along their march to the wall by them. They're probably quite spooked.

Jon won't die. I have a theory about that, but I'm not entirely up to speed on the latest episodes. I got up to the end of s3 a while ago but I've just restarted from ep1 so bear with me.

Jon and Sam are the literary embodiments of GRRM himself, Sam is what GRRM sees himself as fat, cowardly and clever, while Jon is what he wishes he could be, athletic, honourable and brave. This concept has parallels in other media e.g. Brian/Stewie in family guy.

As I say, I'm not fully up to date and I've stopped reading the books so I may be entirely wrong.

Jon Snow is a fucking enigma. He will live, because I truly believe he is the trueborn son of Rhaegar Targaryen. The Dragon has 3 heads means "There are 3 Targaryen children left".

Daenerys, Aegon and John. He is destined to ride a dragon into battle against the White Walkers, I think.

I dunno. In ep1 or 2 Ned makes it quite clear that Jon is a Stark. "There has been a Stark guarding the wall for however long, and even though you don't have my name, you are a Stark" and "when we next meet, we'll talk about your mother, I swear it." Unless of course his mother was Ned's sister and the dad was the mad king. It would make sense that Ned wouldn't tell his wife about it then, as Jon would be killed by Robert.

There's always a chance Jon could be the son of a Targaryen woman and Ned too.

I think you're right Jon will ride a dragon in to battle against the white walkers though, because I've noticed during my second run through that virtually everything that happens is predicted in some way by dialogue a few scenes before. King Robert for instance talks about his first kill, some Tarly boy a few scenes before Sam Tarly is introduced, there are honestly dozens of them that I just can't remember right now, the Tarly one is a bit of a weak example. But if I'm right Dany's brother (Vicerys?) does at one point early on say "the brave men didn't kill dragons, they rode them" which heavily implies that dragons will be ridden at some point.

Rhaegar wasn't the mad king. Aerys was the mad king, Rhaegar's dad. Rhaegar was loved by the people, but he "stole" Robert's bird, Lyanna Stark, and he didn't take too kindly and started a rebellion.

Let me put it this way. How the fuck did Ned and Howland Reed kill 3 of the greatest swordsmen to have ever lived? They didn't, is the short answer. They let him to see Lyanna in the tower, who they were guarding instead of the King (because she was carrying a royal baby) where she was lying in her "blood bed" (a term describing childbirth in the GOT universe) and her dying words were "...Promise me, Ned..."

What you say is interesting and has basis, for instance all of Ned's children have brownish hair except Jon, and GRRM does seem to place an inexplicably heavy bias on hair colour determining lineage, but then the Targaryen's all have whitey-blonde hair, unless you see Aerys and Rhaegar in later episodes or books. Then you have the incident where Jon grabbed a lantern to kill a white walker and burnt his hand, if he is a true Targaryen he should be immune to fire. I know Viscerys wasn't but Dany makes a point of saying true Dragons can't be hurt by fire.

We know they didn't have a scratch on them when they turned up in Starfall with Dayne's sword. Also, Ned spent a while there. That is where Wyla, Jon's "official" mother lives who was a wet nurse.

He was telling Lady Dayne what had happened and to create a back story, hell for all we know Ser Dayne went with them to help convince her to create this story before vanishing.

Then there is Edric Dayne. For him to know so much about Jon surprises me, sure the were milk brothers but it seemed more than a passing knowledge of who he was.

Also, Ned's character doesn't seem like the type of man to dishonour a vow. He is too honourable for his own good.

For me the fight between Brienne and The Hound was the nastiest fights I've ever watched, period. It starts out okay but just get fucking worse until it's just two animals mauling each other.

Also no mercy killing from Arya, was it too hard or did she want him to suffer?.

I think that Arya couldn't bring herself to do it, I don't care how much of a hard ass she is, she cares about him. Also I don't think we've seen the last of Sandor.

>Brienne and The Hound will never have giant babies together ;_;

Can we stop having to spoiler everything yet? I fucking hate it.

And I'd like to point out that for the entire fourth season my OP image has sat there with the patently wrong title of "Gregor", whilst it has clearly been Sandor all along.

Why would someone who wants to talk about the series hide this thread? It is for everyone, not just you and the other bloke. When new season time comes around, the previous ones are fair game, but if you even leave it a couple of months before omitting the spoiler tags to give anyone a reasonable chance to watch it no one will complain.

It isn't difficult to tag spoilers and it will hopefully save someone from having it spoiled for them, I really can't fathom why anyone would want to spoil a beloved series like this for someone. The Briene vs Hound fight didn't happen in the books, for example, so it isn't even as if sole watcher of the series would have seen it coming.

He is a Bastard and can hold no lands, it would be an insult for Ned to take him with him to court and Caitlyn hated him for existing so he couldn't stay at Winterfell. On the wall, all men are equal. His Bastard status was irrelevant. His past forgotten, or so he thought.

There's also other subtle tweakings of plotline that they've made from the books to help it better translate to a TV show format, and other new plot points that have been entirely introduced for the TV show which won't have been mentioned in the books, so even I as a book-reader want to have these features preserved. For example, I thought the creation of Robb Stark's little proto-feminist was a fantastic bit of creative licence considering the way they used her in the Red Wedding, and I quite like the little sub-plot they've got going between Missandei and Grey Worm which I find to be quite an interesting examination of the cruelty of castration.

Because there's funny societal rules in most of Westeros about bastards and being "trueborn", ones which Stick-Up-The-Arse-Stark would never cross. Whereas the Boltons, a family of flayers and torturers are decidedly more weaselly sorts who will use dirty politics to further their own ends. Basically it's just not in Ned's character to not play by the rules - and Ramsay Snow is still regarded as "a bastard's a bastard" by the majority of polite society, I think.

And yeah, I get that about Grey Worm. I thought it was a novel perspective anyway, but I agree they definitely shoehorned it in at the wrong moment.

Because most people on boards like this are considerate enough to use the spoiler tags, the use of which is explained in the FAQ, in order to prevent spoiling fiction for users who aren't up-to-date with what's going on.

I haven't posted in this thread before because I can't watch television for longer than five minutes without praying for a nuclear holocaust.

However, I'd like to point out that 'hide' only works until you clear your cookies (which for me and anyone else sane is until you close your browser window).

Piffle. You can't disable a vital internet feature and then moan when you encounter consequences as a result. If you don't have a way to whitelist certain cookies that are obviously necessary to provide basic functionality and aren't realistically used for tracking you don't have a functioning browser. That doesn't mean I think people should skimp on spoiler tags, but they shouldn't be used to accommodate someone like you.

I don't want to throw this thread off topic, so this will be my last post on the subject, but cookies that persist across browsing sessions are hardly a vital internet feature. They may be a convenience for some people (who don't want to have to log back into facebook or gmail every time they close their browser, or whatever), but certainly not vital. If I were disabling cookies entirely then you'd have a point, however flushing them between browsing sessions is simply common sense.

Beyond this, any number of websites recommend that you "clear your cache and cookies and try again" when you're having problems logging in - poof there go all your carefully hidden threads.

Same thing if you browse from your mates laptop, your phone, a fresh install, wherever else. Quick! Hide that thread before you see all the spoilers!

Essentially your whole argument is laughable and you should feel ashamed.

Only that wouldn't involve you intentionally clearing the data that the system relies on to function. Nor was you doing so brought about in an attempt to remedy a technical fault. The technical fault you mention is of course where non-session cookies become malformed and need to be replaced. Non-session cookies don't exist for you! Laughable arguments indeed.

Well, I've finally gotten up to date and all I can say is HOLY FUCKING GOD THAT FIGHT. At first I was all "nah it's not canon, m8, I ain't havin' this" but then it progressed into the most Brienne thing Brienne could ever do against someone as downright nasty as the Hound. It was brutal, angry, and involved her realistically screaming from getting kicked in the cunt. I don't think I've ever enjoyed a fight scene more. I'm tempted to go as far as to say GRR missed a trick by not having those two meet in the books; symbolically it's an excellent meeting for their characters.

Anyway yes. Go Team Brienne. Got hype.

Evidently spoilers offend you in some way. That seems to fit the use case quite nicely.

Well I'd hate to give any spoilers but I have to warn you that these first 4 episodes will probably feel like a slog for you then. That's typical for GoT though; the bombastic bits are always clustered around the middle to end of a season. They're mostly just setting up where everyone is; I'm not particularly looking forward to Arya's storyline in Bravos as I don't feel it's going to translate well to the screen. I am looking forward to Cersei getting her comeuppance at the hands of the Faith though. I hope they do the scene of her public penance justice. It's gonna be savage.

The Bolton lad. I wanted to violate Sansa as Reek watched and cried. Her screams set me off to be honest. Without seeing it acted out, and just hearing the screams, it felt like watching porn for the first time. Immediate hard on. In any event, I have been researching a lot, and as it turns out, it seems like I perhaps watch too much porn. Or maybe I'm just sick beyond repair.

I can't come to terms with this, so I will try and suppress it.

Popping out quotation marks when they haven't been used in my post is the height of rudeness. And yes, rape fantasies crop up a hell of a lot in anonymised discussion such as those the Internet facilitates. Fucking hell, I even recall reading an agony aunt letter in the Graun about it a few years ago - if Dear Marietta can handle the length and breadth of human sexuality and separate fantasy from reality I'm struggling to understand why you can't.

Furthermore, I'm not going to get into a discussion on sexuality with someone who is purposefully misusing the definition of the word "fetish". You are woefully and obviously out of your depth, now piss off.

Rape is an extremely common sexual fantasy, which is about power for both involved.

However, not many people male or female fantasise about being held/holding someone against the their will in an alley at knife point.

It is a fantasy, and therefore not real. It is acted out consensually in safety by both involved.

The scene being referred to is very typical of the kind scenario a fantasy rape would unfold in, minus the cuckold element, which is why both men and women alike found it arousing. The actress herself liked it.

You are equating a violent sex crime with an erotic power fantasy, which is reactionary and seeks to poison the well of discussion on the subject. Stop it.

I'm guessing because it's simply anecdotal evidence and only supports the argument that particular actress did or didn't claim to have enjoyed it. You don't even know if she was telling the truth, her experience was unique, not actual rape and doesn't apply to anyone else. Even if you can find evidence of any of these things it doesn't have a lot to do with if it's moral/acceptable or not.

I don't even know where to begin with this level of cognitive dissonance. Your argument is essentially "b-but she might be lying about finding it enjoyable!" when several people in this thread have made it clear that rape play is a thing people do and get off on. I used to go out with a girl who liked me to "rape her" which involved me breaking into the house at a pre-planned day and time and having my way with her while she pretended to fight me off.

Yes, I enjoyed it. What have morals or whether or not you find this acceptable got to do with anything?

You're conflating a violent sex crime with a bedroom sex game again, love.

The latter doesn't make you a criminal and incase you missed the earlier explanations, aren't actually rapes.

The point of this tedious argument is that a lad found a scene in GoT arousing and would probably enjoy a bit of consensual rape play and some bloody God botherers are trying to make out he is a closet rapist.

The scene didn't depict any violence, in the context of the GoT universe it wasn't even rape and she knew what they were in that bedroom for. The bedding ceremony is a legal obligation for the Husband and Wife to legitimise the marriage.

Now, the context of the act is what the lad found arousing and as said a million fucking times by this point, the very probably reason for that is because it looked like every other rape fantasy I've ever read or heard about.

Because celebrities never say untrue things in interviews. That's one of five reasons I gave you and you just picked up on that one to disagree with. My only prior contribution to this thread was being the first to point out that rape fantasies are common among women. That would put me on your side, wouldn't it? But no. I don't give a fuck about the outcome of the debate, I'm just pointing out that her allegedly making that claim is irrelevant, poorly thought out argumentation. Much like this poster >>19565 who isn't even trying. Your own personal anecdotal evidence isn't doing much to prove your point either. All you're going to end up doing is continuing this pointless cunt-off, derailing the thread until some of you clarify what your point is and find some actual evidence to support it.

And right there is where you crossed the line from borderline plausible to blatant troll. I expected far more finesse from .gs. 2/10, see me after class.

The rest of the thread is now about sad Jorah Mormont learning that Daddy Mormont died at the Fist of the First Men, and Cersei Lannister's impending undoing at the hands of a bunch of feral fundamentalists.

I've been thinking that GOT has been losing me this season. So far it has been super bland. The pseudocontroversy about Sansa in the latest episode struck me as weird due to all the way more heinous stuff that befell Theon previously.

This latest comic relief stunt with fucking the Tesco Value Prawn Cocktail of musicaural beige curtains ofarchbishops of blandness Coldplay has made me realise that this show has jumped the shark at a previous date, and that I'm not really that interested in it anymore now that I've seen Nathalie Emmanueli's bewbs.

Do you think they can write a scene that doesn't have several tonnes of foreshadowing? I feel as though someone told the writers the definition of "symbolism" just before they sat down to write this series.

I was speaking more about the visual metaphors, like when Jon walks in behind Aemon after he talks about "a Targaryan alone in the world is a terrible thing". Or in the most recent episode with Shireen playing with her stag in the foreground with a fire in the background.

Note, it was a dead direwolf with a stags antlers rammed through its throat. And then they find the puppies, and everyone thinks Jon doesn't get one. But then at the last minute he looks back and discovers that he has the most special wolf of all, one that had crawled away from the dead Wolf.

It's meant to be cringe-worthy and vicariously embarrassing. That chapter was from the point of view of Samwell Tarly, who is a coward and a scaredy-cat who is prone to panic. Just like Cersei's chapters are filled with descriptions of how cool, calculated, poisonously sweet and amazing she is (when we know she isn't, that nobody is fooled by her and that everyone thinks she is an idiot), Sam's chapters are infused with his personality. Every single Sam chapter where something happens to him makes you want to cringe - his head when the Other attacks him in the wildling village is filled with terror and confusion, which is put across in the text.

Ordering pizza takeaway is weird.

Or, you know, you can buy a pizza from the supermarket and chuck it in the oven in less time than it takes to order takeaway. Sainsbury's will even cook it for you for a bit extra if you're too moronic to operate an oven.

Out of all the pizza takeout places around, I like Domino's the best, with Papa John's a close second. I do actually enjoy them, horribly overpriced though they may be. I get delivery a few times a year, usually in one of those hangover-comedown-from-hell type situations where I really can't bring myself to leave the house or cook a real meal. They're obviously not good food but they're also not that bad.

Pizza Hut is much closer to the pizzas you get in supermarkets i.e. cardboard-tasting shite, but you can get two for £7 on a Tuesday, which is basically the same price as the more edible supermarket ones, and I might as well have some other cunt cook it if I'm feeling that desperate. I rarely am, but will sometimes get dragged into it by my housemate.

I used to make my own pizza quite often but it's not really ideal; I keep mature cheddar in as standard, which tends to either overpower or not provide enough cheesy bulk depending on how much you put on top. Mild works better but I don't use it anywhere else and I don't like buying a block of cheese just for one or two meals. A nice thick, home-made wholemeal bread base with a good amount of basil/oregano/garlic in the tomato sauce works well with mature cheddar (and the result is genuinely delicious) but that's a lot of work for what is, to my mind, "easy comfort food". The alternative (using shop-bought pizza bases/sauces) is just fucking nasty and represents the worst of all worlds - most of the ballache of making a half-decent meal with none of the payoff.

I'd guess that a delivery service isn't really something you can half-arse, rather it's a complex affair that requires multiple extra members of staff (or significant reorganisation, at the least) and probably some red tape to drudge through. Might be wrong.

There are Italian places nearish, I'm sure they do much better pizza than any of the franchises mentioned, and a dedicated delivery service just started up who will ferry food from a restaurant to your door, but then I'd be looking at upwards of £20 for a pizza and that's not going to happen.

Depends, when I last went to the Italian place I'm on about it was just me and the LADS. One of the staff could probably have driven out, I'm only about 3 minutes away by road (so 8 mins round trip including the transaction). I'd happily pay them in advance via bank transfer.

Can I point out that the reference to Dominos was meant for maroon and not to be taken to heart?

I thought this was legend, obviously not, but he once furnished us with his transaction history over the past month or so he was going through a rough patch and it was entirely Dominos. He hadn't left the shed for at least 4 weeks, presumably building totems of digital idolatry. Some of you may remember it, but I suppose in hindsight it was probably too obscure a reference.

Still, .gs will inevitably be .gs. Someone would have kicked off over wild fyre vs traditional wood fired stone baked and, The Mother save us, we'd be back to square one anyway.

Why, in the name of all that is Holy, did they kill off the only man left in Westeros other than Littlefinger who knows what the fuck is going on or has any sort of plans? Don't even get me started on them calling Sunspear "Dorne" I think Benioff and Weiss actively hate this show.

Alright, my brain doesn't hurt anymore.

So I liked the legal loophole Jon used to get out of the Night's Watch, but that inevitably means he'll walk right by Sansa and company, or at least he would if this was The Walking Dead.

And everyone but me has forgotten that Littlefinger is marching on Winterfell with the Knight's of the Eyrie, which means I'm the smartest. Also the chap that delivered babby Stark and Osha is definitely playing Ramsey. However, you should bare in mind that I'm the OP of this thread and I was adamant Cersei done the doings.

Speaking of which, it's good to see Cersei hasn't learnt anything and seemingly never, ever will. But maybe you don't need to learn things when you have an 8 foot tall zombie berserker.

And it looks like Arya might be relevant again soon. So hurrah for that.

I think the series is starting to get a bit silly now. Magic hand grenades? Zombies crawling along a sealing at the same speed as the zombies running? Sansa being able to make intricate clothing with no material or time?

Predictions:
Brothel-man has told Sansa a lie and is making his own run at the throne with that boy. I think everyone sees this coming.

The Ironborn will succeed in getting the Dragon Queen on side but then the fleet will be destroyed en route to westeros wiping out her whole army. I doubt Dothraki can swim.

Cersei will use her abomination in trial by combat but the high sparrow will destroy it somehow. Cleganebowl will never happen.

Kings Landing will be destroyed in riots when the old woman's army tries to storm it and High Sparrow will be killed which will only make his cult more dangerous.

(A good day to you Sir!)

Not much to talk about really besides the usual 'wait who the fuck was he again' like that dead horse bloke even though he was introduced only a couple of episodes ago.

I remember reading an interesting point actually of how the series has evolved since its gone past the source material and especially how fan complaints are influencing the writing. Namely all the people who got mad about violence on women have won and now women run nearly everything. Aside from John Snow who is going to be the Hugh Grant of GoT.

I've kept up with it. Although watching this season has made me realise that I don't actually enjoy the show itself and am mostly just interested in seeing how they translate the book to screen.

I think you're right about Ed's comeo cock up, but the actual battle did convey the horror of burning people alive to me as well, the "your people can't fight" line showed the contempt Dothraki have for Westerosi people too. It also occurred to me that the wagons Daenarys was gleefully strafing were full of food, weren't they? Gold too, maybe, but I've never heard of barrels being used for gold storage. I can't forget that she had another outburst at an advisor as well. People give Dany way, way too much credit for Dragon-ing her way through Slavers Bay, other than that she's really not done much too impress upon me her "goodness". Not that I'm saying it wasn't a great thing, but it's worth remembering that slavery is under a zero-tolerance policy in Westeros, baring the Iron Islands, and everyone thinks they're scum anyway. The old joke about how "anyone who wants to be Prime Minister/President/High Archon of the Prestatyn Rotary Club, shouldn't be", is definitely true for Kings and Queens, especially if you have to kill tens of thousands (at the minimum) to get there.

I hope Jaime's alive, he's probably the best character and actor on the show right now. Although his teary about awful the Mad King rings a bit less true when his sister-wife ended the last series by turning the Sept of Baelor into a hot, green, crater. Hard-ons make men quantifiably dumber though so it's not all his fault.

There was a line just before the attack about the last of the gold having entered the city gates at Kings Landing. This would make sense as those wagons were loaded at the start of the episode from Highgarden rather than needing to be collected from the peasants stores.

So now Daenarys has an army without food and without hope of resupply. An army we should remember made up of savages who are in a land deprived of food - unless she has struck a deal with the North this will be LoGH all over again.

Utter balls. I ponce Game of Thrones week in, week out, from free torrents, and I've got no pretence I'm doing anything other. I'm poor as fuck and simply wouldn't watch it otherwise, but I'm still robbing the hard work of the camera operators, visual effects artists, runners and writers and the countless other professionals who appear in the credits no bugger hangs about for; unless the music's decent (thanks musicians, sound technicians and the sixteen other job titles responsible for that). Do you have any comprehension of what a gigantic ball ache setting those Lannister men on fire was? Just filling out the risk assessment needed to set more than a dozen men aflame with out killing a single one was likely an unspeakably cruel task.

I don't think GoT is at risk of being cancelled due to low viewing figures.

Back in the day, the DHSS were the biggest funder of the arts in this country. Pretty much every band in the country got through the lean early years on Unemployment Benefit or Enterprise Allowance. Rents were cheap and squatting was legal, so even if you were signing on you could afford to have a full-time rehearsal space and do gigs up and down the country for little more than petrol money. If your benefits got stopped, it was easy to just sign on at a different place under a different name. The New Labour welfare reforms really did have a devastating impact on the British music scene.

I watched the leaked episode. This is getting silly. I might just drop it after this season. Does the fat fuck have any input on these episodes? It is all disjointed. Nothing has any meaning. Everything is rushed and pointless. They are trying to force me to like certain characters, and hate others. Just kicking it down my throat. No nuances. No nothing. This is quickly becoming a useless summer blockbuster film with shit ratings and high views.

When you look at Season 1 with all the political scheming and small scale plot, it's insane.

I think the problem is they're running out of HBO money, and dont have any book based filler, so just rushing through the A-Z.

Obviously, I am watching the show. However, her necklace prevents her from appearing so, so that's either R'hollor's work, or something to do with Melisandre being from Asshai, but the priestess who visits Varys and Tyrion in Meereen is wearing one too so I don't know. Also there's a street preacher in what I think was Volantis, but I don't remember her wearing one at all.

I assume they serve different purposes with the women being turned into recruiters by sex appeal. The temples for instance have priests, warriors and prostitutes.

As a bloke and a man of the world, I'd think twice about putting one of those necklaces on. I think we have all seen what that can do in pornography.

Arya's storyline and character is really pissing me off now. She's a dickhead and failed half her quests when she tried to join the Dark Brotherhood but somehow she still got turned into an untouchable badass. Now she's just blundering about thinking she's a boss ass bitch when she's still the same little spacker as before but with a few masks.

Arya's point is that it would have been preferable to die than it would to betray her own family. Of course as viewers we are privy to seeing both sides and can reconcile these things but Arya does not have all this information. Just a load of anger that has been driving her all those years but now has found a target in Sansa, who appears to be the same spoiled power-hungry princess she was as a child. The subtelties are lost on her though, when you're a hammer everything looks like a nail.

Perhaps, but Arya's only really attempted to run into the jaws of death on one occasion and Sandor was on hand to prevent her from doing so. I'm honestly thinking she's, along with Sansa perhaps, baiting Petyr Baelish into thinking he's getting one over on the pair of them.

217622176221762
Jaime is Azor Ahaiand Cersei will be The Night Queen/Nissa Nissa. Cersei is already au fait with necromancy, specifically its use as a tool to further her power, so I don't think she'll have the same reaction of horror and revulsion most people do when they see a Wight. Add to that her willingness to do things Olena describes as not being "capable of imagining", I think this has a reasonably good chance of being true. And erm, Window's Wail becoming Lightbringer, backed up by something about it being forged from Ice making it important, or something...

Although this does go against what I've thought since Cersei crowned herself queen about prophecy of a "younger, prettier" queen who would "cast her down" being Daenarys inb4 "but Cersei's fitter", because while I agree I would still say Daenarys is "prettier".

Is she playing Morticia in something, or is it fancy dress? Anjelica Huston had an incredibly expressive face, whereas she struggles to reflect the emotion she is supposed to be conveying at times.

You missed some pretty big plot points, but it's unlikely to follow the same path in the books. Everything past the end of Dance is moving peices into their alloted spot for the final battle. Martin has had very little input since Series 5 and you can tell.

It's alright, don't get me wrong, but you can tell it was written in a writer's room and not adapted from any substantial source material, other than what George scribbled on the napkin and gave to D&D about who wins and how.

Well, well, well, that was actually rather good. I was a bit concerned going into it, and not having done a big rewatch of the past series' I've forgotten almost everyone's name, but on the whole I'm quite excited to see how it all ends up.

A few docked points for the odd bit of nails on a chalkboard dialogue and two of the biggest characters in the show now being played by the shakiest actors. Jon Snow and Daenarys aren't as bad as some make out, but pathos isn't something that springs to mind when they're on screen, and not just because I don't really know what pathos is.

Excuse me but Arya and Salsa are by a country mile the worst actors on the show. At least the others seem to try at this late stage even if people like the pirate king are completely neutered.

I don't see why the Night King would even care about fighting a pitched battle. At the very least he could just turn cities like King's Landing
and get himself a doomstack first.

I disagree, Arya especially does a good job at being a teenage girl who murders people, whereas I can't tell if Jon is supposed to be a bit thick or he's just being played that way.

I don't know if Night King is fussed about a pitched battle, but King's Landing is approximately 80 gorillian miles from The Wall, whereas Winterhold or Whiterun or whatever it's called is only like 20 odd. I guess he could just march his undead army right by them, Total War AI style. Heck, maybe he will. Jesus, back-to-back computer game references; what have I become?

Also the writers really don't seem give a fuck about the Greyjoys. Maybe it's favouritism at some level (writing, editing, wherever) because they were relative late comers to the show, but this is like the third time one of them has just popped up, done a fight and gone away again. And if Theon rescued his sister ASAP, with no bother, and was immediately forgiven, that sort of makes her entire kidnapping feel a bit pointless. He could have just not jumped off the ship in the first place and had the same character ark.

It's like 60% of his character.

I'm thinking it was a detailed Greyjoy thread planned for the books but they've had an "oh shit" moment because they have to wrap this up in a season. They can't just leave it entirely out at this point because cock chopping is such a major thing for the fans.

Most of the spoilers by FrikiDoctor for the first episode were correct.

https://www.desinerd.co.in/game-of-thrones-season-8-episode-1-spoilers-2019-frikidoctor/

If he's right for the rest of the season then:

Tyrion is executed for treachery against Jon and Dany, rumoured to be by dragon fire.
Winterfell is simultaneously attacked by the Golden Company and the White Walkers. This battle will take up at least two episodes. Jamie will die, rumoured to be in Brienne's arms. Many side characters will die in the fight.
Cersei will blow up King's Landing. Arya will kill her in the ruins.
It's rumoured all of the dragons will die.
It's also rumoured a red-headed woman will die, so that's either Shansha or Melly-C.
I can't remember where I saw it but Jon Snow is meant to kill the Night King. The only characters that are 'known' to make it at the end are Jon, Dany, Arya and Gendry. At the end of filming wrap party pictures were taken of an amalgamation of the Stark and Targaryen sigils.

I think it sums up the "full anime" level of writing in this episode, as in typical Anime style:
Action - 11/10
Writing/Plot - 2/10

Martin has went on record as saying that one dimensional "evil" villains are not what he had envisioned for his story, yet D&D have done it anyway and I cannot stop laughing or else I might cry. The new book better come out this year, I've been holding out hope for a while that Martin was waiting until the show was done before he announced a winter release date.

The torrent took ages, but I can finally visit the remaining GoT related seventy-percent of the internet again.

What's the more naive thought of the two big ones I've currently got swirling around my brain pool; that there must be more to the Night King than that, or that having the greatest threat ever encountered by the people of Westeros just get merked like a bitch is actually as GoT as it comes?

Just because a writer says something doesn't make it true. Characters like Gregor Clegane are his doing, and I'll wait to see how multifaceted and complex his Night King is before giving him too much credit, everyone thought the Mass Effect writing team knew their business, until they didn't. And much of the series is precipitated by a "Mad King" who wanted to burn every single person in King's Landing to death on a hunch he'd turn into a dragon afterwards. Oh, and Joffrey.

Aegon being a mentalist who thought wildfire was going to be his apotheosis is fascinating, because he was unhinged, not just evil, Gregor was clearly a sociopath and serves as an antagonistic foil to Sandor, who is redeemed while Gregor falls further into darkness, Joffrey is a product of his environment; an overbearing mother and a disinterested father mixed with unprecedented freedom and power at such a young age (also Littlefinger) but the Night King dying without ever uttering a single word was like the last episode of Lost all over again.

On another note, Anime Arya is the worst bit. She came from nowhere and it'll be waved away as "lol ninja I ain't gotta explain shit" which begs the question: Why didn't they just hire a Faceless Man to assassinate the Night King 3 seasons ago.

I agree, even just another brief scene of Arya having to sneak around would have done enough to lessen that cheap feeling. The show had enough jeopardy to make sure viewers wouldn't be sure of her success, but it feels, upon retrospection, that someone felt the show needed to have another big, out of the blue, shock for the ages.

Another question I have is what was Bran doing? Was he really just using his warg powers to fly around with a flock of ravens? I know he's a bit detatched and out-there these days, but he definitely had a stake in this fight, he wasn't set up to be ambivalent.

Well that was fucking shit.

At least it was every bit as shit as I cynically expected it to be, and the Mrs and I had a good laugh calling out the predictable bits and comparing all the characters to Total War/Dungeons and Dragons archetypes. But that's what we have to do to enjoy it these days.

I mean you don't just waste your cavalry on a full frontal charge. They only had one mage against a late game doomstack, and they totally neglected to account for the night king using his upgraded Invocation of Nehek. A child could have seen that coming. They didn't have any anti-large units, and they wasted half the battle with their dragons pissing about in skirmish mode. 2/10.

No. It was my own review of A Discovery of Witches which currently has an 8.2 rating. I gave it a very negative review as it's terrible. That review was removed. Watch it yourself if you don't believe me.
I'm guessing it has to do with the Helpful/Unhelpful ratio and as I was one of the first people to review it, got hit with loads of Unhelpfuls as the fangirls started arriving.

The Unsullied could have held the walls indefinitely, while the Dothraki harried the undead from horseback with arrows from the flank, while Dany flamed the undead up against the walls from Dragonback. The Northmen in the towers pouring pitch would aid this, as she'd be able to see when the fog hits. It's a simple Hammer and Anvil tactic.

Meanwhile, Jon could have fought the Night King on Dragonback. Then, when the dead were at a manageable number, you send the Heavy Cavalry from The Vale out to spearhead a rout with the Dothraki, armed with dragon glass lances, to run down the walkers and the remaining dead, with a squad of unsullied at the gate to guard their retreat.

I just don't get it. Everything happened the way it did because everyone in Winterfell is thick as fuck, apparently.

If we must be tedious nerds to the nth degree about this, then I shall do my best to eclipse you.

The assertion that the Unsullied could hold the walls forever is based on nothing, fine warriors they might be but they're still only human. I seem to remember them getting merked up by prozzies and poshos way back in Essos. As for the Dothraki they're capable warriors too, but they're also individualistic fighters with a rambunctious flair, the idea that they would sensibly harrass the great horde of wights, who themselves would do little to impede this, is one ripped from the annals of Total War AI exploits. Perhaps the living should have camped their army on a river bank and foregone Winterfell altogether? As for the Knights of The Vale, where would you have kept them before this great hammer blow? Too close and they would be dragged into the melee too soon or attacked themselves, too far and the signal might never even reach them, as we saw when Davos attempted to signal the dragons, or Jon cried out to Danny while riding their dragons; even at a seemingly modest distance communication is all but impossible in conditions such as those dipicted. Not to mention that a great movement of glistening knights would likely have been spotted by the Night King's army, who have every advantage in moral and logistics, in so much as they don't even factor in his calculations.

Frankly, with insipid and trite strategies such as that I don't see you joining the ranks of the great captains of history any time soon, m80.

If you want to know how insanely disciplined The Unsullied actually are at fighting an enemy that doesn't care if it dies, vs how the show portrayed them, google the 3000 of Qohor. As for visibility, Dany gets her bearings after Melisandre lights the trenches and starts reigning down dragon fire. Men lighting the dead on fire with pitch from the walls would accomplish much the same thing. The Knights of the Vale I would have kept inside Winterfell ready to ride out when the White Walkers entered the fray. The show grossly under represents it's size, as its size in the show is roughly the size of the Godswood alone in the books and could easily hold the 500 or so Heavy Cavalry Yohn Royce brought with him.

The Dothraki are also accomplished archers from horseback and were armed with dragonglass arrows which kill wights and White Walkers. There us also 100,000 of the bastards; that's a million arrows if you bet conservatively. They wouldn't have had a problem with visibility either, because all they'd have to do is aim for whatever Dani was setting ablaze.

Also, the Night King surviving a blast of magical dragon fire unscathed, but dying to a blade forged in magical dragon fire (you know, imbuing it with it's magic) after Sam killed one with dragonglass (crystallised dragon fire) is so fucking stupid I can't think straight.

That's book canon and has little to no bearing on the TV show, we have the Winterfell we've got and that's that I'm afraid.

Keeping your heavy cavalry inside Winterfell would render them quite useless. You would have to open up the gates, a massive risk in itself, and they would almost immediately come into contact with the massed ranks of dead. Not only would that take away their momentum and manueverability, but you'd likely end up with a crush of horses and men trying to force their way out.

The Dothraki would still have to be coordinated into a position where they can do all this flanking and harrassing malarky, resulting in issues much like the ones I brought up about the Knights. And ten arrows doesn't sound conservative at all, quite hopeful in fact given the time spend aiming, reloading, avoiding attacks and maintaining discipline. The dead appeared more than capable of dragging a man off a horse and are at least as fast as a living human and with no risk of tiring. As for the 3000 only a fifth of them survived that battle, a battle fought under very different circumstances to boot. The Dothraki didn't fight not caring if they lived or died, but simply thought they wouldn't, those are very different motivations.

We've also both overlooked that losses are an almost non-issue for the army of the dead, as it only takes a minute or so for the Night King to bring back those his army have slaughtered and more besides. I wonder how many well burried undead were just thrashing about under tonnes of mud too?

Dragonglass isn't made from dragon fire either, it's obsidian. Magical obsidian, but it's still not made from actual dragon fire, just regular old fashioned volcanic rock. With magic.

Dragon glass is crystallised dragon fire, it was mentioned by Maester Marwyn in ADOD when showing Sam that the dragon glass candles had lit up again when Dany's dragons were born. It's literally living magical flame that has been crystallised by... dunno, but it's not the same as what we call obsidian. For one, their obsidian can be reshaped and cast; our obsidian cannot.

The lost magics and techniques like being able to create the fused stone Dragonstone is built with, a technique passed onto men by the Deep Ones, are most likely responsible for the creation of dragon glass as it is not obsidian as we would understand it.

I haven't read the books, but that doesn't seem to be confirmed anywhere, and Maesters are frequently wrong, if not outright full of it. Maybe Marwyn's a particularly trustworthy sort, but that doesn't make him completely exempt. I'm not saying it isn't different, but the consensus seems to be that it's still volcanic in origin.

If you had, you'd know Maester Marwyn is an Archmaester and a mage who is the leader of a cabal consisting of Melisandre, Thoros of Myr, Miri Maz Dur, Moqorro and Quaithe. They are all servants of R'hllor, who is a very real entity that dwells in Stygai in the Shadowlands.

If anyone was to know the truth of dragon glass, it would be him, as he has dedicated his life to studying the Higher Mysteries and is far and away the most powerful mage out of the aforementioned group, who we know at least 2 of have resurrected the dead and one gave Victarion Greyjoy a literal lava arm. He leaves to go help Dany at the end of AFFC, as her existence puts a spanner in the Citadel's conspiracy to eradicate magic from the world and he thinks she needs protection.

He is probably the coolest character in the books, he's a bit of an enigma.

That's all very well, but this isn't the book, it's the telly show. You might as well be talking about Harry Potter.

I've got a mate at work who always tries to defend the bad writing on the TV show by going "Yeah but if you'd read the books you'd have known that it was Eddard's second cousin Bakewell who gave the Sword of Thoth to the blessed dancer in the treetop and that's why he knew it had to be him, because he was one of the first men. It's all about how it connects together innit."

I don't care about the fucking books. I watch the show. Just because something was deeper in the books doesn't stop it being bland and poorly explained in the show.

It's an adaptation, it should follow the same internal logic as to motivations of pivotal characters and basic things like lore and one of those pieces of lore is that White Walkers can be killed by dragon fire.

I don't mind too much that Arya kills him, Jon doing it himself in a heroic last stand would be a trope too far, but it was poorly executed.

I love the books, but let's be frank: GRRM has never been known for fast writing or finishing works. He's like the polar opposite of Brandon Sanderson. The first book came out near enough to 23 years ago, the TV series is a measly 8 years old and ran out of book quite a while ago. Meanwhile GRRM is doing what Rowling should be doing, being happy as a pig in shit that they got rich with not much of a desire to remain in the lime light.

Can I just slightly divert this threat for a minute to say that epic fantasy is one of the most bollocks genres in all of literature? Every single series and author is the same, it's just "ooh but this time the magic works with runes!" or "oh, no, this is totally different, in this setting magic is an ancient singing tradition" or some other dogshit.

I know a few people who bang on about shite like Raymond E Feist like it's the best thing since War and Peace, when it's pretty much just Eastenders with fucking elves. OH BUT THE CHARACTERS ARE SO GRIPPING fuck off.

I feel similarly about the cyberpunk aesthetic, but it's not really about the visual themes or more stereotyped aspects of the world, and more about how they're often used without consideration for their meaning in the story.

Not Mr. Contrary but I agree with you somewhat, but I do find that Sci-fi settings in general tend to feel more varied and are often justified by the author, i.e they'll explain why and how their particular magic spaceship wormhole lightspeed bollocks works, whereas in fantasy you typically just get "there has been dragons forever and if we ever knew why it's been lost to time". Cyberpunk is different but there's not that much of that out there is there?

I'd say that's because it doesn't really matter if the dragons fell out of the moon or were created in the image of an ancient god, what matters is their role in the story and the meaning of their presence. That's why I brought up cyberpunk, because it's more of a look than anything, which is often how fantasy settings are used. They aren't trying to tell a story pertinent to those settings, people just want wood-elves and hackers with neon streaks in their hair to do cool stuff. This is where I'd probably give GoT a pass because it does engage with the realities of a pseudo-medieval setting. Equally, Deus Ex uses a cyberpunk setting to highlight real world issues and pontificate on their potential for long term harm, but also there are laser swords.

You said epic fantasy which isn't actually a genre, per se, and is a ubiquitous term to describe high fantasy fiction and then described high fantasy tropes as being shit.

As mentioned current GoT is full of them, you're posting in a GoT thread... it's not exactly a leap to assume you were talking about the series. I'd go as far as to impune your motives for making that statement if you weren't talking about GoT, simply so you could start a cunt off about genre fiction.

Alright, so we're just keeping the Jew-hating nonsense, aces.

With regards to the show, I'm very, very happy to have more intrigue back in the plot, but killing Misande felt cynical and Euron doesn't just sound, act and look wrong but has the dullest motivation out of any character I can think of from the series. I know he barely spoke this episode but every time he's on screen I'm mentally preparing for the worst. If he wasn't a Greyjoy I'd have to assume he'd fallen through space-time from another intellectual property. I know book-nerds are upset he's totally different to his character in said books, and that's probably a valid point, but regardless no one should have let that actor do his best Jack Sparrow-but-darker impression, it only draws attention to the fact that he's the only person solely where he is because he just likes power and being powerful and stuff, everyone else could probably have an entire ten part spin-off show about them, but show-Euron would struggle to flesh out a three-minute music video. Seriously, Jack Sparrow's opening scene in the entire Pirates franchise tells us more about the character than almost everything Euron's done on TV. If I keep thinking about him I might actually begin to hate him, so I'll stop.

Regarding the "cynicism" mentioned earlier, what I mean by that is what is Misande to anyone except Danny's mate/hairdresser and Greyworm's missus (for the past fortnight at that)? It just felt like a character the writers didn't have any room in the plot for, but who was nice enough to get people a bit more sadderer if she was killed; a cynical slaying, basically. I could be misrembering her importance and unapriciating her death as a result, and it definitely worked in the context of Greyworm and Danny having lacked a personal reason to hate Cersei before that. However, what didn't help was that it felt like scenes had been cut after the ambush and her appearing in King's Landing. Hey HBO! If you filmed it, put it in the show, people are already staying up until 4AM to watch the damn episodes, no one cares if they're two hours long at this point. I don't know, maybe they didn't film them, but it felt rushed either way.

Despite doing nothing but complaining, I did like the episode, but perhaps that's the bar GoT has set itself; that when it feels like a TV show for a couple of minutes, it sticks out like a sore-thumb.

Exactly. Danny's myopia aside for a moment, they should have just cut Euron altogether.

Maybe have that Kingsmoot thing say "we talked about it and, erm, we don't want to be ruled by the mind-broken eunuch or a fucking girl, because we're sexists who value rape and pillage more than being able to grow out own food, we're tired of dynastic politicking getting in our way, all Balon did for thirty years is mope, and neither of you are going to produce an heir, so the Moot's going to run the whole shebang, oligarchy style, baby!" Just have Balon die of pneumonia, because he's older than the average .gs user and lives on a cold, damp rock in the sea, no one will question it. As far as character development is concerned it's just the same as before regarding Theon and Yara. Theon still never got daddy's approval and Yara still gets betrayed by those she thought respected her. You even have a more sympathetic antognist, because after everything you've seen in the show who can honestly say they want to live under the rule of any king or queen in this damn universe? Even if you do you're still only an undiagnosed heart problem, or a fall off a wobbly ladder away from a Joffrey or a civil war or both.

Just have Cersei loan ships from someplace in Essos, maybe in the show the Golden Company also have a really powerful fleet. Oh, but wait then they'd have to give the Ironborn more than eight minutes of screentime per series, my bad, and in fairness writing a TV show is far harder than coming up with your own fanfiction. It's just the only "big" problem in the show, at all, in my opinion.

They're basically just killing characters who serve no real purpose any more, because they've written themselves into a corner where they need to keep the actual important ones around or else everything falls apart, and they've got very few left. None of the deaths this series have been of any consequence, except the one they should have given the most impact, and it had none at all.

Clearly for several seasons now the show has been in the hands of hacks who don't understand how or why a death should be used to create impact and change the direction of the plot, they've just been doing it because they think that's what this show is meant to have.

I agree the killing of secondary and tertiary characters has been a bit much this series, but I think calling the creative team behind it all "hacks" who've "written themsevles into a corner" is a bit much. The show still has plenty of plot left. Maybe it's a corner in a room shaped like dodecahedron, at worst. It's probably best to save such damning verdicts until after the show's wound up.

I don't know, I feel like it's an appropriate judgement. If you compare the earlier seasons to the last couple it's a shockingly drastic decline in quality. Somebody earlier compared it to Lost, and I feel that's very apt. Long arcs concluded badly because they never really knew where they were going with it, they were just making it look like they did. If you watch the behind the scenes bit at the end of each episode and hear them talk about what they did with the episode, you'll see what I mean.

The last episode was the best in has been for a long while now that a bit of intrigue and drama has managed to come back in- But it's a shadow of what the first two or three series were built upon.

Daenerys arc makes complete sense and likely what GRRM had planned from the start. She realised that she will never be loved and has rationally concluded that to rule she must do so by fear - a line she states to Jon Snow when he refuses her advances. This was already strongly established in the episode where she was burning Lannister soldiers alive and letting her Huns massacre everyone.

This is in line with GRRM famous criticism of LotR's failure to show the actual business of ruling and likely extermination of the Orcs. I'm frankly amazed you didn't see this coming from episode one.

There's a big difference between ruling by fear and fantasy nuking your own capital city that you have spent the best part of a decade trying to retake as your birthright. If she was going to become the most evil person in all of Westeros then we needed more than fifteen minutes for the change to come, not to mention the complete hack job we just witnessed done to Jaime and Sandor. The frauds sailing this ship off a waterfall just wanted to fill their show with Emmy bait 9/11 imagery and I promise you the words "this will blow the Red Wedding out of the water" were spoken during a writing session. Apparently people never change, unless it's for the fucking worse, everyone is Anakin Skywalker in the minds of Benioff and Weiss. Except Jon and Tyrion, who have become so catastrophically dumb I'm concerned they could die next episode after they forget to keep breathing. And I suppose the scorpions are just however accurate the script needs them to be, nor did Arya and Sandor talk once on the four-thousand mile trip down to King's Landing, except to tell him about hair conditioner.

When the First Crusade took Jeruselem they might have butchered a few thousand people, but they didn't pull down every fucking building and burn the rubble. And I don't want to hear about no Sacking of fucking Magdeburg, you disgusting nerds, that shit was an early-modern act of religiously motivated genocide, it's apples and oranges compared to why Daenarys was attacking King's Landing.

Speaking of Star Wars I hope Benioff and Weiss enjoy their big fat Disney cheques, which I suspect might be the reason behind them wrapping this up in a mere 6 episodes.

I haven't watched the series due to my poor attention span, but I have read the Wikipedia episode summaries, and it sounds fucking dreadful. I'd be pissed off if I'd invested like 70 hours of my life on a show which looks like it's going to have a piss poor ending.

It has been 48 hours, I still think this needed a season to mature not a single episode. The TV show has spent 7 seasons taking great pains to show she wasn't like her Father, with D&D confirming it in their post-episode discussion segments. Her descent into madness should have began when Viserion died at least and she should have been more suspicious of the Dragons letting Jon ride them.

Ultimately, it's beautifully shot and well directed by safe hands and the costume designers are also phenomenal, but it's written by 2 total incompetents and I don't see how anyone can argue otherwise at this point.

D&D are competent directors, they just shouldn't be helming the writing of a show like this on their own. They need oversight and until the end of season 4 they did have, but George got so annoyed at them he left his role as Exec Producer if the rumours of his exit are to be believed.

I'm hearing nothing except whining from people about how they don't like the ending, but I think the truth is that ending a programme like this one was always going to be controversial.

To those saying that Daenerys becoming mad queen was out of character, I disagree, I found the programme to be full of foreshadowing for this moment (I've expected it for years); the following link is very informative on the matter: https://tinyurl.com/y3pf68e2

Jaime escaped Cersei's influence and when she was on trail for fucking Lancel, et al, he let her rot. In the show, he does this later and for different reasons, but still does it, and then... goes back? Completely nonsensical. Especially considering what he says when he confesses to Brienne at Harrenhal vs what he says when he leaves her at Winterfell this season about the small folk in the city of Kings Landing. Jaime wants to be an honourable knight, that's his character arc.

Stannis says in Theon's PoV from the start of WoW, a chapter that coincidentally George released after he burned Shireen (I think not), that Lord Darry might hear of his death at Winterfell while in Bravos hiring sellswords, but that it wont matter. He was to seat his daughter on the throne or die in the attempt. George also describes Stannis as the only real hero in Westeros. Burning Shireen is miles off base. Fucking miles.

Dany going mad has not been foreshadowed, in quite the way you imply and it needed an entire season to mature not a single poorly written episode where she burns a city because Euron killed her Dragon.

I've been saying she was going to be a mad Targaryen since series four or five, but I didn't expect it to happen in the span of fifteen minutes. This series has been a half-arsed hack job, anyone not seeing that is willfully ignoring what's right in front of them. Even the underwhelming series seven looks like a masterpiece compared to what's happening now, it's just become this character kills that character over and over, with said characters acting as if hours of on-screen personal development hadn't occured, all in order to wrap the show up so D&D can leave and earn that fat Disney cash (in my opinion). No intrigue, no mystery, nothing, just labourious plots done as quickly as possible, with so much of what came before discounted I'm actually staggered by it. From the silly, "I've never known bells to mean surrender", Davos Seaworth, series 2, episode 9, to the confusing, regarding Jaime's direct contradiction of his previously stated reasons for killing Aerys II, the Mad King, and thereafter being known as the most dishonourable man in Westeros for the rest of his life. I guess he just did it because he thought it would be funny.

Honestly this might be the worst ending I've seen, ever, and it's not even over yet. People flipped their lid about how dumb the ending of Mass Effect 3 was, and they weren't wrong, but it didn't do an about turn on loads of its major characters for no reason. But what's the point in rewatching old GoT episodes now, if none of those scenes with Sandor build up to anything meaningful, or all the mystic happenings beyond The Wall end in the blink of an eye with no real pay-off? At least Bioware were being leaned on by EA to get ME3 out the door ASAP, whereas HBO were offering as much time as Benioff and Weiss wanted to finish up the show, but they decided to spend two years on dodgy scripts and all but meaningless battle sequences.

It annoys me how they've left so many loose ends.

Bran is a psychopath that not only knew Dani would destroy Kings Landing but knew he would be made king and now wants to warg Drogon.
I don't care what the SNP party political broadcast says: There's no way the other lords would just let Scotland go without either going their own way or crushing them.
Why did the salt queen laugh when she's an elected monarch herself?
There's a giant hole in the wall now. It's useless for stopping Wildling raids.
There's an army of Huns in Westeros who only know how to destroy settled peoples.
Seriously, Bran is a Greenseer who will presumably live thousands of years and holds a proven ability to change past events without creating a time paradox. Our equivalent would be letting a skynet rule humanity after it has manipulated history to its own ends. The Starks must've destroyed a Greenseer King for a reason - maybe that was Bran's doing seeing as how he is effectively a god that can only be stopped by another timelord.

Oh well, we will have forgotten about this in a week and the prequel will never be released. The end.

It just feels like Beinoff and Weiss didn't give a toss. What Wildling raids for starters, surely the Free Folk and "the South" are allies now? And yeah, there wasn't enough of a schism developed between The North and the rest of the Kingdoms to justify such a huge change with no push back. Samwell brought up democracy but didn't mention that Jon, the bloke who everyone thinks is the bee's knees, was democratically elected, as was every other Lord Commander of the Night's Watch? And half the people at that meeting have either barely featured for several series now, or are literally unnamed nobodies only nerds familiar with the regional fashions of Westeros will even recognise as being from a place? And no one seems concerned that Jon could be dead, maimed or whatever, and that's why Grey Worm won't bring him out?

The tone was also all over the place. Benioff and Weiss seem to love indulging in repeated jokes like they were character traits. There's a scene from a couple of series back that's been on my mind a lot; Sandor's been given some pork or something, and Thoros of Myr asks how it is and Sandor replies "it's fine, but I prefer chicken". That's just a callback to the scene in the inn when he's talking about eating all the chickens several series ago. So him saying that is either a private joke for Sandor, by Sandor, something Sandor thinks people ought to know about him above a great many other things, or a pointless callback. I know which answer my money's going on. Anyway, this happens again in the finale with Edmure being silly, Bronn and Tyrion sharing wise cracks about brothels and Davos correcting people's grammar, all of which are faintly tedious and eye-rolling, but when I'm supposed to be watching the climax of a show like this, one episode along from witnessing thousands of innocent people being burnt to death and during a series littered with named character deaths, it's just confusing.

I could go on, but I'm really knackered. In conclusion I just think it's amazing how many different ways people are pulling apart the ending of the show, it's been so poorly executed there are entirely disparate schools of thought opening up explaining why people feel let down, that's fascinating in and of itself.

I'm really not the man for your feminist hot-takes, but I can't imagine a scene in which a male character is threatened to be raped to death by a horde of violent steppe raiders, and potentially even their horses, after which he defends himself by killing those who threatened him, later being reframed as being part of a manic lust for power.

I don't have a problem a problem with Dany being mad, but the manner in which it happened was pure garbage. The finale did nothing to change my view on that.

You'd have a point if that was the only time she'd done a similar thing. The point is she kept doing it and got more confident and arrogant each time.

i don't quite buy it to be honest- She's clearly been a villain since the early days. They've consistently shown that she knows how to conquer and subjugate, but demonstrably lacks even the most basic qualities of mercy and compassion required to be a benevolent ruler. People have only been rooting for her this whole time because they're so desperate for a boss-ass bitch dragon queen female character to "win" the story that they've utterly ignored all of that characterisation.

Sure they rushed the pay off, just like they rushed everything in this shitty series, but you can't say Dany's fall to the dark side came out of nowhere.

Case in point- Sansa's entire story arc is that she got raped; but she's the direct opposite of Danaerys. She's no good at war but she's calm, collected, rational, and ends up the Queen of the North.

People keep saying she's been a wrong'un since forever, and I agree, but going from nought to sixty in a matter of minutes is pathetic. They should have kept Viseron alive, but he gets killed attacking King's Landing, then, in a blind rage, Dany takes Drogon and raises The Red Keep to the ground, resulting in hundreds of smallfolk dying inadvertently, and beginning her journey to concluding "the ends justify the means". But you'd need showrunners who care and another season for that to take place. Because Daenerys might have done brutal things, but the only time she harmed innocents was when she crucified the Masters of Meereen without knowing the full facts, and she seemed pretty embarrassed about that and afterwards began making serious consessions to the Meereenese. The foreshadowing doesn't make it okay to have a snap decsion that she's bonkers now, and completely ruins any suprise or satisfation in this turn, from either the pro or anti-Dany camp respectively. I genuinely don't think the writers understand how tension works, because when someone like me, who's been saying she would go nuts for years, has the immediate reaction of "huh, what?" when she starts burning King's Landing, you've made a mistake.

Honestly it seemed childish at first consideration, but I think the people saying HBO should take a mulligan on the whole series have a point, not just because the show ended poorly, but because those poor bastards at HBO got conned. Weiss and Benioff told them they only needed six episodes to wrap up their flagship show and that was clearly untrue. This series was the equivelent of paying hundreds of pounds for a wedding feast, and getting a bowl of cheesy beans and a pitcher of lemon and lime cordial. This goes far beyond Dany's turn and riddles the whole programme.

To be fair I think the problems with Dany's character go further than can be fixed if we merely retcon this last series or two out of existence. She started off as somewhat of a mary-sue type of bland "chosen one" and she really hasn't developed much since then. She's just wobbled between hard-ass and feeling guilty about this things she did as a hard-ass, before eventually going mental.

Lots of characters had good arcs that got utterly thrown away, but characters like Danaerys, Jon, and to a lesser extent Cersei, have always been characterised pretty blandly. Jon in particualr has wound me up the entire series- He could have been the one guy you were behind the entire time, the one honourable man who heeded Ned Starks words about honour and duty, but instead he's just a bit of a mong who gets carried along wherever the plot is. Cercei used to have a bit of an interesting plot about how she's not evil, she just loves her family etc etc, but that all went away pretty quickly and she's been the same sort of psychopath ever since, just an increasingly overt one.

All the interesting characters, people like Olenna and Tywin, all the intrigue between Littlefinger and Varys, all that stuff that was great in the early seasons... They threw that away and took the plot in a direction that made it much harder to create that kind of tension. It's not that they're necessarily bad at it, they just made the wrong decision in trying to make the plot bigger and more epic. None of that subtle stuff works when the characters are all physically separated by hundreds of miles and an ocean or two, and the baddies are either literal monsters or Fantasy Hitler. That's why we began to see fast travel and blatant arse pulls.

It was a fun journey but I think we all knew in our hearts it was never going to end as strongly as it started.

I honestly love this mindset where any fictional story featuring a bad thing is inherently also bad, because it endorses the bad thing. It's fucking bonkers.

If you use the same logic that a show is racist because it has themes and plotlines involving real life stuff like slavery, does that also mean it's condoning mass murder and incest? Why do these lot never get outraged by the fact all the main characters are lords and knights born into privilege, and the show endorses feudal hierarchy?

There is a lot of sunk cost fallacy related posts flying about the web, where people are just attacking people for not enjoying it rather than saying what they thought was good about it.

Dreams don't make people kings, dragons do
Ask any Targaryen and they'll tell you it's true


I have mild hopes for this. Whilst I'm generally opposed to going back to worlds and settings for what could be more of the same (hello, Star Wars), Benioff and Weiss did such an embarrassing rush job on the final two series of GoT (hello, Star Wars) that a do-over seems worthwhile. It's not like remaking The Exorcist, which is insane and I hope everyone working on that gets stomach ulcers, it's like throwing away the charcoal'd dinner you left too long in the oven while browsing photos of Carol Vorderman and starting again because you don't want to eat worthless crap.

Ryan Condal and Miguel Sapochnik are the showrunners and I've never heard of them before. They do have certain credits between them that make me nervous, such as Condal writing the Rampage film and Sapochnik directing Repo Men; that's "Men" not "Man". This isn't promising, but most importantly they aren't mates with JJ Abrams who I think may actually be an Xenomorph Queen like creature who spawns shitty screenwriters and film makers by the dozen. Paddy Considine's in it at too, you can't mess Considine up, although it does give me pause that they're aping the GoT formula and he'll be Ned Stark 2.0. That's probably paranoia, mind.

Overall I'll say my primary sources of, fairly limited, positivity regarding the show is that basically every human being on Earth understood GoT better than the two men helming the production, and HBO are well aware this new series has a reputation hole to climb out of, lest it end up becoming the biggest human folly since the Tower of Babel.

It looks like a bloody fan film. How embarrassing.
